Using noise to probe and characterize gene circuits.
Stochastic fluctuations (or "noise") in the single-cell populations of molecular species are shaped by the structure and biokinetic rates of the underlying gene circuit. The structure of the noise is summarized by its autocorrelation function. In this article, we introduce the noise regulatory vector as a generalized framework for making inferences concerning the structure and biokinetic rates ...
متن کاملEditorial: Using Noise to Characterize Vision
Auditory noise is a sound, a random variation in air pressure. More generally, random " noise " can be introduced into any stimulus, including a visual display. Noise added to the stimulus can probe the computations underlying perception of the stimulus. With power and precision, the noise, by restricting the information available, places fundamental constraints on attainable performance and pr...
متن کاملUsing visual noise to characterize amblyopic letter identification.
Amblyopia is a much-studied but poorly understood developmental visual disorder that reduces acuity, profoundly reducing contrast sensitivity for small targets. Here we use visual noise to probe the letter identification process and characterize its impairment by amblyopia. We apply five levels of analysis - threshold, threshold in noise, equivalent noise, optical MTF, and noise modeling - to o...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
متن کاملDesign of Biological Circuits Using Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Biological computing circuits have a role to play in many synthetic biology applications, such as precision cancer therapy, sensing chemical threats, or control of biosynthesis processes. Actually realizing such circuits effectively, however, has been quite difficult: until recently, neither high-precision prediction nor high-performance component libraries were available. Thus, although many d...
